Logan Dankworth, newspaper columnist and Twitter warrior, grew up romanticising the political turmoil of the 1980s. Now, as the EU Referendum looms he is determined to be right there in the fray of the biggest political battle for years. Meanwhile, Logan's wife Megan wants to leave London to find a place to better raise their daughter. As tensions mount at home and across the nation, something is set to be lost forever. 'His performances rumble with rage, passion and humour,) peppered with brilliantly smart observations.' Guardian The first two plays in the trilogy dealt with Thatcherism and the legacy of New Labour. They were praised by critics and audiences alike for their mature, lyrical and politically relevant poetic writing, laced with wit, compassion and laser precision. The Remains of Logan Dankworth is a personal story occurring against the backdrop of political upheaval. It features a man approaching middle age excited by the febrile nature of British politics while trying to hold things together at home.
